  2. Found In Group 10 Of The Periodic Table

  3. History • Charles Wood found samples of colombian platinum in jamiaca in the year 1741 • Charles then sent it to William Brownrigg for further investigation • Antonio de Ulloa was also credited for the discovery of platinum • Antonio’s described that platinum was neither separable nor calcinable • In 1750, after Brownrigg studied platinum he said that he had not seen this metal in any accounts of known menirals • People referred to it as “White Gold”

  4. Method of Extraction • Platinum is rarely found on its own • Usually found combined with other precious metals in a ore • It is found in secondary deposits in alluvial deposits • Extraction of the pure metal from ores is a complex process, and includes milling the ore, a froth floatation process, and smelting at high temperatures • This removes base metals, notably iron and sulphur, and concentrate PGM- platinum group metals- gold, platinum and palladium • The PGM matte is further processed by electrolysis to remove nickel, copper and cobalt • The high grade concentrate is treated by solvent extraction, distilling, and ion exchange treatment to separate the PGMs into it's separate metals
